PRINCE CALLS SMITH
NERVIEST DOUGHBOY
Cognomen Results From Au
tograph Offensive.
FIGHTER HERE FOR BOUT
Denver K1 Martin to Bo Met In
Ten-Round Setto at Milwau
kle on Wednesday.
BY DICK SHARP.
Sergeant Kay Smith was pronounced
"the nerviest man in the United States
army" ly none other than.tne prince
of Wales. That was when Smith was
in London in charge of the American
boxing team that competed In the
king's tournament. Smith had been
collecting autographs of famous per
rons for some time and had about
every general, marshal and officer of
any consequence In the allied armies
listed In his autograph album.
When Smith arrived in London he
made up his mind to get the signa
ture of the prince of Wales. The first
night of the fights the prince was sit
ting In a front box at the ringside.
Smith crawled through the ropes and
asked the astounded heir to England 8
throne If he might have hiB auto
graph, at the sam time shoving his
autograph album in the prince s lap.
For a moment the prince was too
hocked to speak. He galnid his com
posure and granted Smiths request,
asking the latter If he had a pen.
Duke Is Ilotton-holrd.
Of course Smith didn't have a pen.
pencil or anything ele, but this did
not daunt the soldier-fighter. He
merely cornered a duke or an earl,
he doesn't know which, sitting next to
the prince and asked him if he had a
pen. His nervy and startling request
bowled the duke over as it had the
prince and forthwith was produced a
pen. The prince signed his name and
Smith Jumped back into the ring to
second one of the American fighters.
The prince asked one of the ring of
ficials who the man was and the latter
answered that it was Sergeant Ray
Smith. The prince said, "Well, he is
the nerviest man in the United States
' army" and let it go at that.
Smith is a real veteran of the
American expeditionary forces. He
was wounded 14 times In action and
gassed once. He was nine months
convalescing from the effects of the
gas and shrupnel wounds. He had not
recovered Buffteiently to compete in
the king's tournament in London, so
Mike O Dowd, ex-middleweight cham
pion, entered the light-heavy weight
class In Smith's place and won.
Smith Works Out.
Smith workeu out yesterday after
noon at the Olympic gymnasium before
a packed house of fa.is. After watch
ing him o his paces the opinion was
freely voiced that he would give
Denver Kd Martin a real argument
when they tangle at the Milwaukie
arena Wednesday niht over the ten
round route.
Smith is all action In the ring. He
does not have to set himself to punch
and lets fly with both hands. After
three torrid rounds with Tommy
Richards, husky 16ii-pounder, Smith
gave an exhibition of how tough be
really was. He laid down on the
floor on his hack. He then asked for
yolunteers to come and Jump up and
down on his stomach as hard as they
might. " Richards was the first one
to do it. Then several husky fel
lows with street shoes on entered the
ring and proceeded to Jump up and
down on Smith s solar plexus. All
they got out of Smith was a grunt.
After this test Smith let Richards
kick him on both sides of his chin
with his heels.
The fans gave Smith an enthusias
tic round of applause as he went to
the showers. Smith scales only about
ls5 pounds, but has plenty of height,
topping 6 feet 2 inches in his stock
ing feet.
HC.HTEIt 1. 1 K I :S KXITT1VG
Johnny .Mt'iuirl.ioliii Crochfls and
Ih Versatile Athlete.
Here ij a new one for fighters:
When through with a day's train
ing and nothing else to do. just turn
the mind to knitting, crocheting or
washing dishes. It has a. soothing
effect on the mind. Is useful to some
around a home and helps to pass
away the time. That is what Johnny
Mendelsohn, the Milwaukee light
weight, does.
Johnny is not a mollycoddla or
anything of that kind: he is a very
husky youth and a fighter of no
mean ability, as his battles with
Richie Mitchell, Mell Coogan. Clohie
Tait. Bohby Ward and a number of
other3 will attest.
Just now Johnny is gavstag him
self for a battle with the top-notch-ers
in the lightweight class. He be
, lieves he can eventually force himself
into a match with the champion,
Henny Leonard. He Is Just under 22
years of age, and if he improves at
the same pace that he did the past
two years, he will attain his ambition.
Avlthout a doubt.
Mendelsohn ij a sort of all-around
athlete, having played baseball, foot
ball, hockey, lacrosse, besides1 being
a boxer. He is a swimmer of consid
erable class, having won 13 medals
for under-water swimming and per
forming feats of various kinds In the
water. He has been physical Instruc
tor at the city schools of Milwaukee
with considerable success. He is
quit a star In the indoor baseball
games and gained some reputation as
an amateur wrestler.
